@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzAttempting to pick #comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) ouf of dawn today in MŸn at 55°N, at 4:13, :33 and :39 CEDT: solar depressions 14.5°, 12 1/3° and 11 3/4°, comet elevations 7 1/3°, 10° and 10 3/4° - so darker sky is more important that higher elevation. Visually the comet was underwhelming in 11x70 binoculars: that's certainly one for (bigger) cameras, not the eye. And the viewing window is closing fast anyway.
